chamber. Even the galleries seemed eager
to hear what the President of one of the
most important railroads in the country
might have to say on the subject of inter
state commerce. His speech was full of
suggestions and matter for thoughtful re-
Election. Like most OF his efforts, it was
prepared beforehand, dictated to a secre-
tary, and read from manuscript. The same
speech delivered off-hand would have pro-
duced n. e apparent effect, but could
hardly have been received with more con-

The New York Senatorship.
New YORK, January 1lth-A. ,.-The
Suns Albany special says: 1t is rumored
by persons interested in Levi P. Morton's
canvass that the Administration at Wash
ington is favoring Miller's election. It is
said that man recently from Washington
reports the President as being very anx-
ious for Warner Milier's success, and as
having said: He is good man." in a
very impressive way. These Morton
folks also say that the Miller men
are boasting that fourteen of the
seventeen Republican Congressman from
New York are friendly to Miller. 1t
is not quite clear how it can injure Miller's
standing before the people to make it plain
that he is popular in the place he has been
sent to, but it is evidently considered dam
aging by Morton's supporters. This is
brought out by the news that sixty-five
posts of the Grand Army of the Republic
in New York have resolved to send dele
cation here tomorrow to whoop it up for
Miller.

bookseller, declined TO attend because

rendering DR.. Kelly dinner, refuse to
serve on a committee with Henry George,
man who is openly using his utmost en-
deavors to excite movement against the

history and slandering ecclesiastical dis
cipline." This is the outcome of Georges
recent review of the case of Rev. DR.. Nc
Glynn.
